Prerequisites: ENGR 1202

Required Text: Elementary Surveying, An Introduction to Geomatics, 12th

Edition, Wolf,P.R and Ghilani, C.D.

Course Objectives: The objectives of this course are to provide students with an understanding

of plane surveying as it relates to civil engineering. Students will be ableto collect, analyze, and utilize surveying data as relevant to basic site

design.

Class Topics: Units, Field Notes, Errors, Distances, Angles, Azimuths and Bearings,Total Station, Global Positioning Systems, Leveling, Traversing, Area,

Mapping, Horizontal Curves, Vertical Curves, Volume

Outcomes: Of the 14 CE Program Outcomes, this class will help students develop(1) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and

Class Attendance and Participation:

Attendance is encouraged and participation will be monitored through the use of Clickers.

Students may attend only the lab section for which they are registered, unless very special (e.g.,documented medical emergency) circumstances require otherwise. Advance permission by theinstructor is required for a make-up laboratory session. Full participation in the laboratory isrequired to receive a grade for the course.

Students are advised to bring their book, a pencil and a calculator to each class, as in-classexercises are common.

For exams, please note that your calculator must be able to perform trigonometric identities

(sin, cos, tan, etc.), however it cannot be a programmable or a graphing calculator. The list ofapproved calculators can be found here:

http://www.ncees.org/Exams/Exam-day_policies/Calculator_policy.php

I encourage classroom behavior that is professional. Arriving late, leaving early, overt talking,

reading the newspaper, doing homework for your next class, having your cell phone ring, usingyour laptop/phone/mobile PC, listening to an iPod/iPhone or similar device, etc. is not

recommended to maximize your grade. Kindly consider how you would conduct yourself infront of a prospective employer or future reference.

Homework:

All homework must be completed on engineering paper.

ALL SHEETS MUST BE

STAPLED TOGETHER dog earing is not acceptable with your name and lab day at thetop of the first page. Calculations must be neat and clear (particularly for homework),otherwise points will be deducted.

NOTE: The assigned problems are from the 12th

EDITION of the textbook. While much of

the textbook material is the same as prior editions, the problems are different. If you areusing an older edition of the book you MUST get the correct problems from the 12th

edition, otherwise NO CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN!

Homework submittals will be accepted ONLY until the solutions are posted on the Moodle

website, one class period after the due date after that time no credit will be given. Ifnecessary to meet the deadline, you may email scanned copies of your work to the teaching
